3ality Technica 6-Axis Lens Control System
3ality Technica introduces a new lower cost 6-Axis Lens Control System.
Along with the 6-Axis Controller Box is a 3-axis remote hand unit called THC-L (Technica Hand Control - Lens), based on the same platform as the THC-S (Technica Hand Control - Stereo). The primary difference between the two is an optional spring-loaded rate sensor designed for smooth in-shot zooming, or the standard positional sensor. With the 3ality Technica SIP2100, (and now Mistika Live and StereoLabs Pure) connectivity and bi-directional communication, technicianss have the choice to either use one of these analyzers to automatically create a profile, or they can quickly do it the old-fashioned way with a chart.
Access to the 6-Axis LCS subsystems is possible through a PC application called Metadata Viewer, or through a new iOS App (Rig Manager). The THC-L is designed as a stand-alone product which not only can be used for all of the legacy Element Technica and 3Ality Digital rigs currently being used, but the same system can be used with any 3D rig requiring lens control regardless of the manufacturer.
